Olympos, Archaeological site in Antalya Province, Turkey

The ruins contain temples, a theater, and ancient bathhouses along a river valley near the Mediterranean coast at Mount Olympos.

The city joined the Lycian League in the second century BC and became a major Mediterranean trading port with three voting rights.

The archaeological remains display architectural elements from Lycian, Roman, and Byzantine periods, reflecting centuries of Mediterranean civilizations.

Visitors can access the site through local buses from Antalya between May and October, when temperatures are suitable for outdoor exploration.

The nearby Yanartas mountain features natural gas vents that produce continuous flames, connecting to ancient legends of the Chimera creature.
